Abstract: A multipurpose hemofiltration system (10) and method are
disclosed for the removal of fluid and/or soluble waste from the blood of a patient.
The system (10) continuously monitors the flow rates of drained fluid, blood, and
infusate. When necessary, the pumping rates of the infusate, drained fluid and
blood are adjusted to remove a preselected amount of fluid from the blood in a
preselected time period. A supervisory controller (160) can monitor patient
parameters, such as heart rate (120) and blood pressure (130), and adjust the
pumping rates accordingly. The supervisory controller (160) uses fuzzy logic to
make expert decisions, based upon a set of supervisory rules, to control each
pumping rate to achieve a desired flow rate and to respond to fault conditions. An
adaptive controller (162) corrects temporal variations in the flow rate based upon
an adaptive law and a control law.
